Praise be to Allah.
Whoever is affected by sihr should not treat it with sihr, because evil cannot be removed by evil, and kufr cannot be removed by kufr. Evil is removed by good. Hence when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about al-nushrah (treating sihr with sihr), he said: “This is the work of the Shaytan.” Nushrah means removing sihr from a person who has been affected by it by using more sihr. But if it is treated by means of the Quran and permissible medicines or good ruqyahs, there is nothing wrong with that, but treating it with sihr is not permitted, as previously stated, because sihr means worshipping the shayateen (devils). The saahir (magician, practitioner of witchcraft) does sihr or learns sihr only after worshipping and serving the shayateen, and drawing close to them by means of the things that they like. After that, they teach him the means of sihr. But, praise be to Allah, there is no reason why the person who has been affected by sihr should not be treated by means of reciting Quran and the prayers for refuge with Allah that are prescribed in sharee’ah, and permissible medicines, just as patients with all kinds of sicknesses are treated by doctors. The patient does not necessarily recover, because not every sick person does recover. A sick patient might be treated and then recover if his appointed time (of death) has not yet arrived, or he may not recover and may die from this sickness, even though he may be been seen by the most skilled physicians and knowledgeable doctors. When the appointed time of death comes, no medicine or treatment will be of any avail, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And Allah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes” [al-Munaafiqoon 63:11]
